Ashwin came back to Mumbai.

As soon as he entered the house he noticed a man in his late fifties.

"Uncle." Ashwin called him.

"Hey , Ashwin. How are you my son?" Alexander asked while smiling brightly.

"I'm good. What about you?" He asked.

"Counting my days. Both my son and daughter left me alone." Alexander tried to tell a joke.

"Uncle don't speak like this. They love you alot." Sharon said.

Ashwin hugged Sharon.

"How are you? How is the baby?" Ashwin asked.

"We're fine." She replied and placed the coffee cup in front of Alexander.

Ashwin and Sharon sat on the couch.

"I met her." Ashwin said suddenly.

"Who?" Sharon asked.

Alexander looked at Ashwin's face. 

His face doesn't contain the usual charm.

"Mrs. Deva Hasini Jayesh." Ashwin said.

Sharon was shocked. 

Alexander's face showed a confused expression.

"Did you go to chennai?" Alexander asked.

"She came to Himachal with her students." Ashwin answered.

"Did.. did you speak to her?" Sharon asked hesitantly.

Ashwin nodded his head.

He narrated the conversation.

"She is happy right?" Alexander asked.

Ashwin nodded his head.

Sharon smiled and did the cross.

"I want to meet her." Sharon said.

"No." Ashwin refused.

"But why?" She asked.

"You can't travel at this time." Ashwin said.

Sharon pouted.

"I'll ask her to come." Alexander said.

"Let her come when she wants uncle don't call her." Ashwin said.

"Ashwin..." Sharon whined.

He gave a stern look which made her quiet.

Alexander laughed.

"Uncle did Jenith call you?" Sharon asked.

"Yeah he used to call me to talk about business , nothing more than that." He answered.

"Uncle..." Sharon hesitated.

"He is treating me like a stranger Sharon. He thinks that I supported her." Alexander said with a sigh.

"Even I tried to stop her but..." He said in a painful tone.

Ashwin held his hand.

"He will understand uncle don't worry." Sharon assured him.

Alexander nodded his head.

"Do you know that the girl who whined every time to wear a saree is now wearing saree all the time." Ashwin said.

"Really?" Sharon asked in amusement.

Ashwin smiled and nodded his head.
